Riding the Pheonix Chapter 7: Fence

After mid-February, the weather is getting warmer and warmer.

The sun shines through the window, making the study warm and peaceful.

Mingwei sat by the window, listening to Nanny Tong and Mrs. Mingsan talking.

"There are three people on the stove asking for leave, two in the greenhouse, and a few of the sweepers are sick. Chunyu's mother came over in the morning and said that Chunyu was old and wanted to go out..."

Su Jie interjected: "Bah! You are so old, isn't the garden haunted, do you want to run away? That's nice to say!"

Mrs. Mingsan smiled and said: "This is also human nature. Everyone saw what happened that day. There is no reason to ask them to accompany him to death."

Su Jieqi said: "Where can I die? Didn't the immortal lady say that? The thing has been sealed. All we need to do is find the immortal chief of Xuandu Temple to collect it."

"However, we still don't know whether the immortals from Xuandu Temple can be invited over." Mrs. Ming San said warmly, "Don't force others to treat you well. When you are born in this world, you don't owe anyone anything, but those who stay Yes, I want to miss them."

Sujie was still unhappy and muttered: "I don't see her getting less rewards on weekdays, and she runs faster than anyone else when something happens. Madam is too kind..."

Mingwei glanced at Mrs. Mingsan one more time.

This sentence is quite Zen-like. There are few people in this world who live as transparently as Mrs. Mingsan, and even fewer who are both transparent and kind-hearted.

Mingwei thought that it was time for him to find a chance to get better. If she gets better, Mrs. Mingsan will be happy, right? Besides, with this idiot's status, there is very little he can do.

"What do you mean, madam, is it accurate?" Mother Tong asked.

Mrs. Mingsan nodded: "Give her twenty taels of silver, and leave the house in good health, and we will consider it as a full favor. Others who have asked for leave have agreed, and there is no need to add more people. At this time, there are not many people. If you use it, it will only attract more talk."

Nanny Tong said: "Madam is thoughtful. The servants will tell them to be careful in their words and deeds and not to talk nonsense outside."

"Yeah."

There was a noise outside the window, and Mrs. Mingsan said: "Sujie, go and see what happened."

Just as Sujie was about to answer, another maid, Bing Xin, had already walked in hastily: "Madam! The fourth master has brought someone here again!"

When she heard the Fourth Master, Grandma Tong frowned.

"Tell me slowly." Mrs. Ming San said calmly, "Who did the Fourth Master bring? How many people did he bring? Do you know what to do?"

Bing Xin said anxiously: "There are about ten of them! They are all tall and strong male servants, and they also carry shovels and sticks... Madam, why don't you hide?"

Mrs. Mingsan laughed: "Will the fourth master still hit me? Don't worry, go and take a look first."

Mingwei stood up and followed Mrs. Mingsan out silently.

"Do you see that line? Follow it!"

"These trees have been cut down and they look like an eyesore."

When they went out, the lake was in such a mess that it was impossible to see, with pits in the east and pits in the west.

"Fourth Uncle!"

Master Mingsi, who was supervising the work, glanced at Mrs. Mingsan and said casually: "Oh, Sister-in-law is here!"

Mrs. Mingsan frowned: "What is Fourth Uncle doing?"

The fourth master of Ming Dynasty looked cold: "Didn't you say it is haunted? I will help you fence off the haunted place, so that people in your garden will not be panicked. One disease will fall on another, and others will think that our Ming family is going to be doomed!"

"Four Masters!" Mother Tong couldn't help but said, "The fairy said that the evil spirit is on that tree. You have brought so many people with you. What if something happens?"

Master Ming Si glanced at her sideways and said without any politeness: "How dare you, old man, show up? Shut up! If you make any more noise, I will have your pants ripped off and you'll see." Do you still have dignity!"

Mother Tong was so angry that her face turned blue. She is Madam's wet nurse, so hitting her is not a slap on Madam's face?

How dare this fourth master do this! At first, the two masters of the Ming family's second house were said to be twins, but their temperaments were completely different. One has a gentle temper and is known as a modest gentleman, while the other has an impatient temper and is extremely difficult to get along with.

She was lucky that the wife married the third master. Who knew that the third master would go away and make the fourth master the family? It's okay, it's okay, the uncle won't just enter the widow's sister-in-law's residence. Whenever something happens, these four masters always speak with guns and sticks.

I only complain that the third master left too early, leaving the mother and daughter alone.

Mrs. Ming San was not angry at all. She gave Nanny Tong a look, motioned her to step back, and asked herself, "Fourth Uncle, how are you going to surround me?"

Seeing that she was not entangled in the matter, Mr. Ming Si withdrew his gaze and pointed to the lake: "Anyway, this place is remote. I will build a wall here to separate it and it will not hinder you."

Mrs. Ming San looked at it carefully for a while and nodded: "In that case, thank you for your help, uncle. I have maids and servants here, so please restrain the servants. In addition, tell them not to get close to this tree. It will be bad if something goes wrong."

Master Mingsi’s tone also slowed down: “Okay.”

Mrs. Mingsan gave a salute and turned to leave.

After walking for a while, Mother Tong asked: "Madam, are you going to let the fourth master go like this?"

Ming Sanfu said: "He is right. He surrounded the place to make everyone feel at ease."

"Alas..."

Mingwei fell at the back and asked Duofu: "Who is this?"

Duofu was puzzled: "Who are you talking about, Miss?"

Mingwei stretched out his hand and pointed.

Duofu said: "This is the Fourth Master! Don't you recognize it, Miss?"

"Really?" Mingwei murmured.

She has had a problem since she was a child, that is, she doesn't recognize people very well. Unless they look very distinctive, she has to see them many times before she can remember them.

Later~IndoMTL.com~ the master taught her how to identify Qi. Everyone's Qi is different. They may look similar, but their Qi is rarely the same.

Since then, she has been accustomed to identifying people by their aura and has never made a mistake.

But just now, she had a vague feeling that Mr. Mingsi's anger was different from that day.

She has changed her body and hasn’t recovered yet. Is there something wrong with her induction?

"Miss, let's go back too?" Duofu urged when he saw that she was not leaving.

Mingwei wanted to turn around, but felt something was wrong and looked at the lake a few more times.

These male servants dug several small holes around the willow tree and buried several paper packages. One of the paper packages had a corner missing, and a little red spilled out.

Cinnabar?

The look she looked at Mr. Mingsi became meaningful.

"Miss?" Duofu urged again.

"Yeah." Mingwei turned around and went back to the house.

This originally simple matter seems to have become complicated.

"Thank you, what did they say about seeing ghosts before?"

Duofu thought for a while: "Xiao Xiang said it was a white shadow, but Jiu'er said it was through the costume. The strangest thing is Liu'er, who said it was a bald monk! How can any ghost be a monk? They died without seeing each other. Has the Buddha gone?"

"Are they all different?"

"Well, everyone has his own story. Miss, maybe they saw it wrong. What we saw that day was obviously not like that."

Ming Wei thought to herself, this is right.

To set up this kind of bureau, they usually use old psychic objects. They have produced weak spiritual consciousness, but they have not yet turned into monsters. They can only appear in form, but are actually harmless.

The one wearing a costume is probably from the theater troupe. The bald monk, of course, is from the temple.

So, there is one link in this game that cannot be solved at all.

It’s the thing that scared Miss Mingqi to death.
